Yearling Does

First-light · January 3

So when I was at the processor we were talking about the second rut. He said the yearling Does 7 months old will be bred in December/January.

This true?

Just read this very interesting about weight.

It sure works that way on the farm. I’m sure in healthy herds it also happens in the wild. Fawns born in late May early June have the best chance of getting the needed weight on for sure.
